Twitter User Tells Males To Not Lean Into Their GFs Because It Makes Them Look Weak, Gets Called Out
Twitter user Rivelino has released a now-viral series of “green line” tweets. It urges men to stop leaning into the women’s world and bring the females into theirs instead.
To get their point across, Revelino shares pictures of heterosexual couples and highlights their postures with green lines. If a man’s line is “leaning” towards the woman’s, he’s needy, weak, and the pathetic beta deserves pity.
Conversely, if a woman’s line is tilted towards a man, she’s submitting to his protection, and the dude’s fine — he’s a strong alpha.
Pretty soon, people started highlighting the flaws in this ridiculous theory, pointing out the toxic masculinity and a million other socially disgusting concepts behind it.

These tweets (just like most of the stuff Rivelino shares with their followers) is a perfect example of the ‘manosphere’, a collection of predominantly web-based misogynist ideologies associated with the far-right and alt-right.
Recently, the manosphere has been a subject of feminist scholarship. It has been subjected to serious accusations, blaming it for its role in encouraging misogyny and violent threats towards women online, as well as for potentially radicalizing lonely or dis-enfranchised men.
But people soon started highlighting its flaws

Jesus H Foghorn! Tall people have to lean in order to put an arm around a shorter person's shoulders. People are fecking stupid.

Yes. The one example he gives of a man standing straight is of Jason Statham. He is slightly taller than his wife, but she's no doubt in heels.

You're kidding right? Is this really a thing? This has to be the worst pop-body-language c**p to surface in a while. Its like the person who posted this c**p up read a Psyche 101 page, not even the whole book just a single side of one page, and decided that they knew what they were talking about. Yes, there is some semblance of actual body posturing and language, however red carpet photo's are some of the last ones you would ever want to look at that stuff on. They're posing for 37 different camera's people. It doesn't help that the men are so much taller than the women next to them. Part of that leaning comes from the fact that they know the photo's might get blown up and it gives them a better face view for possible blow ups. Some Celebs hire consultants to learn how to pose on the red carpet. *mutters and storms off*

So much BS. I think leaning in, is showing the man is feeling protective of his woman...Or leaning in to get in the camera shot.

Or leaning in to have bodily contact because they love their S/O and want to be close to them!

These are nothing more than a not-so-clever way to further sex-role stereotypes, written by weak men who feel inadequate.

I'm pretty sure this man has never had sex with a woman. Or even spoken to one.

What a load of tosh! I think leaning in to someone shows you are 'into' them and maybe showing a protective nature... being affectionate has nothing to do with being alpha, beta, gamma or anything else male. I wish these MRM con artists would just pack up their BS pseudo psychological clap trap and leave the rest of us alone.

99.9% of the people in this world slouch.... So I guess everyone is needy? When people lean in, it's due to height differences, trying to get into the frame of a photo that's being taken..or just to cuddle. Not sure where this idiot is getting his info..but if this is his guideline for picking out the perfect mate...he's going to be lonely for a long, long time.

Maybe the guy was dumped by a woman and is desperately looking for a reason it happened... "But I'm a nice guy! There must be a reason! Oh wait... I know, it's the pictures!"

How is a man supposed to get a snuggle if he can't lean? Nonsense and rubbish.
Gianna 5 years ago
Let them troll! People will always "lean" towards that to make themself feel better about themselves. To me, that says that they guy wanted to take a picture saying that you care! Don't let them bring you down... Those people are miserae that would take a beautiful moment and try to make it ugly.

At some point, we are going to have to stop giving these incel morons attention. Everytime there is an article about the stupid things that they say, they are getting the attention they want.

How far can it go ? How much bullshit can an insecure, bitter man come up with, to make a statement about what he thinks masculinity, seduction and relationship goals should be ? To which extent is he willing to make a fool of himself, mansplaning to women what he expects them to be attracted to ? So many questions here.

Some of the replies that mentioned being gay annoyed me. Being gay does not mean you are less masculine. To be honest I feel those replies just reinforced the toxic masculinity of the orginal post.

The funny part is I get to sit around and watch the rest of you deal with these sorts of problems while I am single and don't want any relationships. My reptiles are enough for me. And my frogs 4 that matter.
Charlotte 5 years ago
Ah, but do you lean over your reptiles? You could be inadvertently signalling your weakness and neediness to be a part of their world. Frogs are looking for strength and confidence in an owner, you know.

Some women like men who are leaners. Some like men who stand tall. To each their own.
Cat Wagner 4 years ago
I'm not that tall (F 5'7") and I'm always leaning in around shorter family members and coworkers, otherwise, they can't get me in the shot. Sometimes photogs will say, "lean in. Move a little to the left. Lift your right arm just a bit." You "pose" for pictures. Also, I was always under the impression leaning in was a protective stance. Mama bears and hens pull their young under them to keep them close and protect them against threats.
